At a meeting on Monday with Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman during his visit to Russia, Shoigu said he wants to discuss all issues related to Syria, and the current talks will help enhance mutual understanding and contribute to strengthening bilateral ties.

Mr. Shoigu is on a 2-day visit to Israel to discuss bilateral cooperation, regional security, and the Syrian conflict. Since Russia launched a military operation in Syria to provide air support for Syrian government forces, 92% of Syria has been freed from terrorists.
